    Just after issuing the statement announcing his grandmother's death, Obama stopped at one of his campaign offices in Charlotte to visit volunteers. Though he seemed more downbeat than usual, he made some calls encouraging voters to get to the polls.

    One volunteer, surprised at seeing him there, broke down in tears and he gave her a long hug but did not mention the news about his grandmother until the rally later on.
